Paraphrasing Training



Group 1 Instructions: Read the following passage, fold the paper in half and write as much of the passage as you can recall in your own words from memory. Learners should try not to peak at the original passage.
Teaching a child to read:
Before teaching a child to read, one must first familiarize children with reading. Reading stories, teaching alphabet names and positive reinforcement are some of the more popular methods to expose your child to reading.
In some cultures, education is so emphasized; parents will even start reading to their children in utero. Reading stories regularly, such as a bedtime routine, develops a lifelong habit of setting aside a certain portion of the day to read and fosters a love of reading that will last a lifetime.
Before learning to read, the child must learn the names of each letter. A great way to get young children excited about reading is to play with your youngster and try to get them to remember the names of each letter. Games playing with blocks allow children to touch each letter and parents can move the blocks easily around to make simple words. Stickers are another fun way for parents to allow children to physically touch the letters while making fun crafts. Games such Animal Alphabet Go Fish are designed to match upper and lower case letters to Mama and Baby animals. Children can better grasp this concept by making familiar associations in this context.
